Asia Bucket List

I’ve been pretty quiet at work again today so it’s given me time to look into my backpacking trip to Asia. I mentioned a few times on this blog that come November I am packing my backpack and heading to Asia for three months with a good friend. Scared, excited and all the things in-between is exactly how I feel about this situation.

I have so many things I want to do whilst there that I’ve decided to write this post and make a list. Once back I’m going to review it and tick everything (hopefully) off!

Eat a scorpion

Swim with whale sharks in Philippines

Angkor Wat Temples in Cambodia

Spend my birthday on an island, on a beach, with a mocktail (I’ll be turning 23 whilst out there!)

Elephant conservation

Orangutan Centre

See Mount Fiji

Full moon party in Thailand

Boat rides

My tip – stay at the Eastern & Oriental hotel in Penang. It’s like Raffles (built by the same brothers, in fact), but a fraction of the price. All suites, so colonial, so special. I passed by it on a fam trip (travel agents’ trip) and resolved to go back one day. I did. My favourite hotel anywhere.

I love this, I’ve always wanted to go to Asia; it’s the one continent I’ve not been to. So many of the things on your list I want to do, I really hope you manage them all and have a fabulous time! Can’t wait to hear what you get up to 🙂

Hey Rosie, I’m so happy to see that Philippines is one of the countries you want to visit. Boracay is still under renovation, they want to restore it’s beauty and will be open in October, I think.. so perfect timing when you go there in November. Whale shark is in Cebu and I think it’s an hour flight from Boracay.
